Forbes Names Houston the Best Shopping City in America

Forbes released its first-ever list of the top 25 shopping cities in America, and the results are a bit surprising! Houston claimed the top spot, while Los Angeles came in at no. 16, Boston took no. 18, New York ranked no. 22 and San Francisco settled for last place. Forbes used a formula that took into account each city’s number of retail locations, shopping centers and sales tax to compute the rankings. Since Houston tops the list with 16,938 retail locations and 54 shopping centers, it took first place.
